Q: What are the benefits of power washing my house? 

A: Power washing your house is a great way to maintain its curb appeal and protect its exterior. Over time, dirt, grime, algae, mildew, etc. can build up on your surfaces, which can lead to long-term damage. Power washing removes these contaminants, preventing potential mold growth and maintaining the integrity of your home’s surface. It can also increase the value of your home by making it look fresh and well-maintained, all while helping to preserve the paint and materials, saving you money on repairs in the long run. 

Q: How often should I have my property power washed? 

A: In New England, where the weather can be harsh and variable, it’s important to power wash your home at least once a year to maintain its appearance and prevent the buildup of mold, mildew, and dirt. However, if you live in an area with heavy tree coverage or near the coast where salt from the ocean can cause additional buildup, you may want to power wash more frequently—every 6 to 9 months. For commercial properties, the need for regular power washing is even greater due to higher foot traffic, exposure to pollutants, and the impact of weather on the building’s exterior. Commercial businesses should aim for more frequent cleanings to maintain a professional, welcoming appearance and protect the building from long-term damage. Fresh Start Power Washing is here to help keep both residential and commercial properties in New England looking their best throughout the year.

Q: Does Fresh Start Power Washing use chemicals in their cleaning process? 

A: Yes, Fresh Start Power Washing uses a range of professional-grade chemicals as part of our cleaning process. These include specialized solutions for various stains and contaminants such as organic growth, rust, and oil stains, Etc. One of the primary chemicals we use is Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach), which effectively eliminates mold, mildew, algae, and other organic materials on your property. While high-pressure washing alone can remove these contaminants, it can also pose a risk of damaging surfaces. By incorporating carefully selected chemicals, we are able to achieve a thorough, deep clean while minimizing the need for high pressure, ensuring the safety and integrity of your home’s exterior. 

Q: Can Sodium Hypochlorite affect the color of my property or harm my plants, grass, or other vegetation? 

A: When used correctly and in the proper dilution, sodium hypochlorite won't change the color of your property or cause harm to your vegetation. However, if applied too strongly or left on too long, it can potentially damage paint by causing fading or peeling. That’s why it's important to hire professionals who understand the proper concentration and application techniques. Regarding plants, sodium hypochlorite can harm vegetation if it comes in direct contact with them, but experienced power washers take precautions, such as covering plants or rinsing the area afterward to protect your garden. Proper application ensures that your home gets a thorough clean without any negative effects on your property.

A: At Fresh Start Power Washing, we prioritize the safety of your family, pets, and the environment.

We use eco-friendly, professional-grade solutions, including Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach), in a controlled and diluted manner to minimize any risks. However, we recommend that pets and family members stay indoors or away from the cleaned areas until they are dry. Our team takes extra precautions to ensure that your property is treated safely, and we are happy to discuss any concerns you may have before beginning the work. 

Q: Will my property have a pool-like smell after Fresh Start Power Washing completes the cleaning? 

A: No! We use Surfactant in our mixture of SH (Sodium Hypochlorite) and H2O (Water). This will do an excellent job at masking the bleach smell people may report after a cleaning. It has two other benefits, 1) Making your surfaces stay wet longer and preventing it from dripping down the side of your house faster, this makes sure your surface gets a proper, deep clean prior to us rinsing it all off. 2) Ensuring that when we rinses your surface off, it comes off clean. Often times we hear people reporting windows and other light surfaces coming out cloudy and showing streaks after failed cleanings due to DIY projects. The surfactant prevents that outcome, and allows an exceptional cleaning which will be picked up by all your senses.
